Flow is a collection of poems inspired by the North-West coast of Tasmania, explored during the isolation of the pandemic. These works reflect the region's geography and history-rivers cascading from highland crags to the sea, towns growing at estuaries, and people who gradually turned their gaze inland.
The poems also grapple with the complex interplay of time, myth, and the human experience. Reinterpreting ancient deities like Psyche and Eros to describe modern mental conditions feels uneasy, diluting their original meaning. Similarly, the spontaneous creation of music is a miraculous process, where the flow of improvisation carries both musicians and audiences
beyond the moment, transcending the present.
As we segment time, we become increasingly beholden to its passage, aware that our ancestors are embedded within it-and that we, too, will one day reside there. Yet, while alive, we
exist within its flow, marking each segment as it passes. The flow of time, the flow of music, the flow of water-everything moves. Flow is an invitation to embrace this movement.
